RAD 240 - Sectional Anatomy

Description
Sectional Anatomy is designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of anatomy with regard to the multiple planes of the body. This course improves upon the knowledge of basic anatomy by visualizing it through multiple planes as well as all modalities of imaging. The student must be able to differentiate changing colors and/or contrasts of diagnostic X-ray images.
